This builds up cur castles. This Is in
tFodacinR here the landlord system Of
the old world.
The government took and held the
vast domain IN trust for what? For the

No. In trust for the citizsnsf For The

- European landlords own
over twenty-five million acres. A score
Of our domestic monoDolies own and
ocntrol over enc hundred and sixty mil
lion acres all Of the best land Of
America.
We all know that the public domain
Is gradually drifting from the reach Of

Into the hands Of the corporations, and
that monopoly Of any kind Is Q curse,
0ut monopoly IN land Is che worst curse

of BeaFiy all the revelations which haye

sFtheless powerful enough TO protect

Moboeracy is treason. murder. arson,
md no government at all. Aristooracy
& tyranny; mobocraey Is anarchy.
1slieve that every Law should be en-
'oFeed until repealed by the same power

Every man Who raises his voice or

The great safeguard and hope OF our
'epablio Is In the golden mean, which is
he disposition, patriotism and love Of

Die. Aud include in this GLASS every
nan and woman, whether they work
With hand or brain. who think, Who |
eel, who act upon reason and couvic |
ion, who love our government for its
benefit 10 society, for its benefit 10 the |
soFld. Who understand and know that |

tands today between popular rights |

Americans; these are the |
opponents Of American ideas; these are |

4 the Revolution, and gave us our con

This Il my party. These are they
